Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 304 Tear each other up

The current situation still has the possibility of turning around for Lilith. As long as she can escape through the secret passage and find Judith outside the palace, even if she can't take back the royal city, at least she will have no problem escaping.

If we were to say who has the most actual military power and weapons in the royal capital, it would only be Judith and Scott, who are commanding the southwestern border war in the royal capital. In this situation, Scott might be at a loss, but Judith, whose position is gradually becoming clear, would not.

As long as they can find Judith and use her to control the defenders outside the city, the outcome of this coup is still unknown.

But Lilith and Nora could think of anything in a hurry, so Claire could not be unprepared, so Claire deliberately chose a time when almost all foreign officials were not in the palace and closed the palace gates.

Even if Judith reacted, the palace gate, which was built like a fortress, would not be so easy to open.

When the dust settled, Judith had no choice but to acknowledge the new king, and even had to sever ties with Lilith.

It doesn't matter even if Judith rebels directly. Without the king, Judith cannot command the garrison outside the city. Even if Judith returns to the south, she can unite with Anjou and sell the south.

That's right, for Claire, it doesn't matter how much territory the kingdom loses. Becoming the queen has become Claire's obsession, and Claire can pay any price for it.

Just when Lilith and Nora brought a group of guards to the entrance of the secret passage, several secret guards came out of the secret passage. At this time, the door of the tax bureau was also breached, and Claire directly led a group of palace guards and secret guards to rush in.

Looking at Lilith who was panicking at the entrance of the secret passage, Claire laughed with satisfaction.

"It's too late, my lord. What you can think of, can't I, who am familiar with the palace, think of it?"

After admiring Lilith's panicked expression, Claire looked at the craftsman kneeling behind her with satisfaction.

"My Queen, you are still as kind as before. You even don't have the heart to kill the craftsman who built the secret passage. But even if you kill him, there are other craftsmen in the palace who can help me find the secret passage. It's just a matter of time."

Claire grabbed the craftsman with her professional strength and threw him into the middle. With a twisted smile on her face, she shouted, "How is it? My dear Majesty, how does it feel to be betrayed by the person you saved?"

A coup d'état is never just about military force. The craftsmen and even slaves in the palace can play a huge role. Claire relied on her status to gather a large number of servants. Although these people have no combat power, they are very useful in terms of intelligence and transmitting messages.

The craftsman knelt on the ground and said to Lilith, "Your Majesty... His Highness said that if I don't help find the secret passage, he will kill me and my family... I, I have no choice."

The craftsman still had some conscience and couldn't help crying. Lilith was still comforting him at this time, saying, "It's not your fault. I was negligent in thinking."

But Lai'er was furious and said, "Lilith, you know what? I just hate you pretending to be a saint here! Do you think you are clean? Weren't you also involved in the frame-up of Reina? Don't think that no one knows your thoughts and conspiracies. Why do you start pretending to be a saint after becoming the queen!"

"I want everyone to know that you are a despicable and sinister villain, and I am the heir and ruler of this country!"

"Do you think I want to sit in this position?"

Although Lilith was much calmer than Claire, she couldn't help but retort at this moment: "I can't even touch the ground with my feet on the throne, but you let me handle the affairs of an entire kingdom? I'm almost dying of exhaustion every day, so exhausted that my feet can't touch the ground, you know what that means literally?"

Hearing this, Claire, who was furious just now, couldn't help but smile.

"Do not laugh!"

Lilith's petite body burst out with great strength, and she shouted, "If it weren't for you Augustines, would I have to work so hard? If you hadn't killed your father and left this mess behind, I would still be a princess who doesn't have to take care of anything, you know? Do you think I want to help your Augustine family take care of these messes?"

"I tried to cover it up for you before, but what the hell!"

The amount of information contained in Lilith's words was so overwhelming that everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

It's really scary when women fight with each other.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. Come on, whoever captures Lilith Dorian will be made a duke, dead or alive!"

This dukedom was most likely not a real title, and regardless of the success or failure of this coup, the kingdom would undergo tremendous changes. But no one present now could care less, including the secret guards, and even the craftsmen and servants brought by Claire.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Nora let out a fierce roar and led the last guard to make a final resistance.

"550C, execute the holy light purification attack and activate the defense barrier at the same time!"

As soon as Lilith finished speaking, several light screens appeared at the same time, not only blocking the attacks for Nora and the remaining guards, but even the holy light spears directly pierced through several people.

This scene surprised even Claire. Lilith's Holy Word was actually real. Not only that, in the past history, the saints who used the Holy Word usually only mastered one Holy Word. How could they throw it away without any cost like Lilith did?

Even some secret guards hesitated after seeing this scene. Lilith now really looked like a saint blessed by the goddess.

"Don't be afraid of the fire gun suppression. This is not the goddess's holy light. It must be some evil magic that imitates the goddess's power!"

Claire's explanation was weak, but everyone present had almost put their own future on the line, so they had no choice but to believe it, no matter how weak the explanation was.

The muskets and ray guns in the armory were aimed at Lilith, and they began to pull the triggers frantically.

At first Lilith could still hold on, but soon she started to have a headache. After all, although the quick phrases consumed very little magic power, it did not mean that there was no consumption. Moreover, compared with magic power, more mental energy was consumed.

Lilith turned her head to look at the secret guards at the entrance of the secret passage, and pulled Nora to rush into the secret passage. This was Lilith's only chance. Nora also understood and commanded the last guards to block the entrance of the secret passage.

The secret guards in the secret passage were caught off guard and were pierced through the body by several holy light spears.

Claire was a little panicked because she didn't expect Lilith to be so good at fighting. But she still shouted, "Do you think it will be useful if you get into the secret passage? You need to find out whose house this is! You are courting death!"

Soon, the people around Claire rushed towards the entrance of the secret passage.

At this moment, Nora suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty! Protect yourself!"

Nora blocked the entrance to the secret passage, took out something from her arms, and pulled the ring.

"As the prime minister of a kingdom, it's reasonable for me to carry explosives with me!"

Nora laughed. This was prepared for the demons, but Nora didn't expect to use it so soon. Nora had already made up her mind to protect His Majesty with her life, and now she is even more determined to do so. This is not just out of personal feelings. Nora knows very well that the kingdom cannot lose His Majesty now.

Lilith was blown away directly. Thanks to the fact that the holy light shield on her body did not disappear, although Lilith was in a very miserable state, at least she was still conscious.

The secret passage, or rather the entire Northern Taxation Bureau, had been blown down in half. As soon as Lilith reconnected with 550C, a soft holy light appeared in front of her.

"The emergency record has been activated. Citizens, please follow the instructions."

......

At this time, at the palace gate, Judith was organizing her forces to try to open the palace gate. Judith and the nobles in the inner city had already discovered something was wrong, but only Judith brought people to the palace. Looking at the sudden explosion in the palace, Judith kept praying that Her Majesty the Queen was okay.

At this moment, something unknown happened inside the palace gate, and the door of the palace slowly opened from the inside.
